History

Harperville was named for G. W. Harper, a European-American settler. [6]

In October 1898, a white mob retaliated for African Americans resisting arrest. The county sheriff gathered a posse, and the governor asked for National Guard support. Governor Anselm J. McLaurin went by train to Forest to assess the situation. [7] After arresting several blacks, the sheriff took them to the county seat at Forest for their safety. [8] The New Orleans Picayune reported that 11 blacks and one white had been killed." [8]
